Letters, i. 36, etc. See also Jean Sturm's letter of about the same
date, Herminjard, iii. 93.]

[Footnote 316: Calvin's letter above quoted, one of the oldest of his
MS. autographs. Dr. Paul Henry, in his valuable Life and Times of John
Calvin (Eng. trans., i. 37) inadvertently makes Cop rector of the
_Sorbonne_, an office that never existed.]

[Footnote 317: A single sentence may serve to indicate the distinctness
with which this is asserted: "Evangelium remissionem peccatorum et
justificationem gratis pollicetur; neque enim accepti sumus Deo quod
legi satisfaciamus, sed ex sola Christi promissione, de qua qui dubitat
pie vivere non potest, et gehennae incendium sibi parat." Opera Calvini,
Baum, Cunitz, et Reuss, x. 34.]

[Footnote 318: Some officious pen has indeed stricken out from the MS.
the sentence, "Quod nos consecuturos spero, si beatissimam Virginem
solenni illo praeconio longe omnium pulcherrimo salutaverimus: _Ave
gratia plena!_" But on the margin the sensible Nicholas Colladon, a
colleague of Beza and an early biographer of Calvin, has written the
words: "Haec, quia illis temporibus danda sunt, ne supprimenda quidem
putavimus."]

[Footnote 319: "AEgre fert Facultas _injuriam toti unversitati illatam_,
quod tractus fuerit ad superiorem Judicem ... summus suus magistratus,
et, eam ob rem, censet Facultas ut ejus accusatores et qui
supplicationem superiori Judici porrexerunt, citentur in facie
universitatis, causas rei allaturi." Bullaeus, vi. 238, _apud_
Herminjard, iii. 117, note. See many interesting particulars respecting
the privileges claimed by the university, in Pasquier, Recherches de la
France, liv. iii. ch. 29.]

[Footnote 320: He was to have been thrown into the _Conciergerie_. See
Beza's preface to Calvin's Com. on Joshua, 1565, _apud_ Herminjard, iii.
118, note. Parliament complained to Francis, and the latter in his
reply, Lyons, Dec. 10, 1533, ordered proceedings to be instituted for
the capture of Cop and the punishment of the person who had facilitated
his flight by giving him warning. Francis to parliament, Herminjard,
iii. 118. A reward of 300 crowns was accordingly offered for the
apprehension of the fugitive rector, dead or alive. Martin Bucer to Amb.
Blaurer, January, 1534, Herminjard, iii. 130.]

discovered by M. Jules Bonnet in the MSS. of the Library of Geneva,
